As the premiere Health IT advocacy organization in Washington, D.C., Health IT Now is on the front lines of the fight to increase access to technology-enabled care, promote interoperability across the healthcare continuum, reduce the federal regulatory burden, and engineer a data-driven response to the opioid crisis.

Our members are patient groups, provider organizations, employers, insurers, and other stakeholders across the intersection of healthcare and technology. We are united in creating a world-class healthcare system that allows for the seamless and secure flow of information to empower patients, improve care delivery and outcomes, lower costs, and speed the development of new cures and treatments.
